Bob's used to frozen meat. Hasn't he told you about his last marriage? |

I am grill guy, and i have to admit, i hate arrachera. I know, its popular, Mexicans love it, its soft and tender, etc etc..... but i personally hate
it!! Arrachera as you know is unedible when its natural, so you have to marinate and tenderize it till pretty much all natural beef flavor is dead.
Another bit of info on why i dislike arrachera is. The best arrachera has nothing to do with the quality of the beef, and all with the way you
tenderize it. The quality of the beef does not matter because at the end your going to end up tasting the marinade and tenderizer anyway, not the
beef.
Its like beef surimi to me.

Jesse, as luck would have it I just picked up a kilo of it and need some marinade/tenderizing tips. Although you don't like it could you give me
guidance on how to prepare it? Thanks....dt

Marinades and heavy spices were obviously used historically to make inexpensive food edible. Such is the case in poor societies. But sometimes that's
not always the case. For instance, what does escargot taste like without garlic?

Its not an easy task. Basically you need papaya seed tenderizing powder, olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic. You mix all the ingredients in a
resealable bag, you trow the meat in there, and let it marinate anywhere from 4 to 12hrs. Problem is, depending on the strenght of your tenderizing
(that depends on the brand), if you add too much you will basically end up with liver like beef. If you add too little, its going to be tough.
I tried marinating some arrachera a few years ago and you do need to invest a lot of time and effort to get it right.
